Thermostats – why do they operate the opposite way to everything else? Clockwise = down / Anti-clockwise = up?
In: Technology
because they are valves. twisting counter clockwise closes the valve, like on your water tap, so no warm water gets through and no heat is spreaded to your room. if you turn counter-clockwise, you open the valve, and warm water goes through your radiator. so you see, they dont work different than everything else 🙂
